I expect a jump in Linux users, which is of course great news. Albeit in time I expect even more Tech companies to get into the space too, which is not optimal. As I expect them to corrupt a lot of open source projects.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Is it still that many computers that cannot upgrade, btw? They dropped all the TPM requirements later IIRC? Doesn't that then include most PCs?
They haven’t dropped the requirement, but you have to manually go in and disable that check yourself on the windows 11 installer if you want to install it on a non-tpm 2.0 machine
Basically, it’s a faff that only the techie people will realistically do. Everyone else will just go out and buy new hardware.

CLickbait bullshit and everyone that upvoted is responsible. This is stupid, you can do better.
That is so misleading, when you can just disable the TPM 2.0 requirements with a single click in Rufus
That's a great tip.

1 it is.
Last I checked windows 11 can be installed without TPM support. I think rufus even has a simple checkbox for it and Chris Titus's winutil can modify an ISO to do the sams

Given the break-neck pace of development, I am sure the ReactOS folks will be ready.
I'm thinking of trying a dual-boot in the future. Does Linux play nice with Window's filesystems or does it still require its own partition?
It requires it's own partition to not have issues. It can see into your windows partition however, if required.
